| - In this place, the tables are so close together you can hear everyone around you and there is no privacy. It makes you feel that the restaurant is only interested in how many patrons they can squeeze in to make as much money as possible. I had not been there in many years and did not remember it being that congested. It was very loud so you have to speak up to hear each other across the table, which lends to the privacy issue. I was practically rubbing elbows with a guy at the table of four next to us, and he yelled at me for using my phone flashlight to read the menu [which was necessary for all of us, with the lighting, etc], stating the light came over onto their table. Geez, how inconsiderate could I possibly be!?
The food and service were good, however, the prices do not represent the actual meal you receive. We paid $27 for some chicken, mashed potatoes and 3 green beans (not even an actual serving). My partner got The Seasonal Chowda, a "small" bowl of rice, seafood, sauce, nothing else. At those prices, the entrees do not come with salad, or even bread. We were with another couple, one of whom ordered the Margherita Pizza, which had no tomatoes! The other had the Mussels appetizer that was actually enough for a full meal, but it did not come with bread to soak up the awesome juices. On a positive note, the apple dessert was very good.
The issues I raise here made no sense to any of us. The other couple had the same opinions of the crowded atmosphere, prices, no bread, etc.
